  I can't imagine our government doing that, or any incarnation of our government we're likely to see in our lives.

    To give a recent example, in 2013, federal courts ruled that Apple violated antitrust laws by fixing ebook prices, forcing them to pay nearly half a billion dollars.

      I mean... that's never something a business wants to have do, but half a billion is something they could pay out of cash, with many MANY billions (just in cash) left over. I'm not seeing a solution there, just a symbolic victory.
